Lime Down Solar Park has scant regard for the potential disruption and harm this profit-making development is likely to have on the local area. We will lose our open countryside

We want to make sure that all residents in the local villages are kept informed and we are determined to challenge it.

Please sign up for updates and calls to action. We will guide you on how to voice your objection.
